0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted September 23, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am not sure but I think in 2010 the VA came out as for filing PTSD Claims the veteran don't need to prove a stressor event from combat if he has the CAB on DD 214 or can show he was awarded one during combat or with a combat infantry Unit /Units So yes its a good thing if you have one. ................Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mont36 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The VA has relaxed standards on stressors.....If you have a CAB (Combat Action Badge), CIB (Combat Infantry Badge), Purple Heart just for example would constitute not needing a VA Form 21-0781. Also if you have Iraq War service with dates also is another example....Be sure to go in the exam reflecting your worst day dealing with PTSD. Don't sugar coat it...Good Luck..

0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 24, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 24, 2016 So let us say a Vietnam vet was at a firebase, support base or airbase that was under ground attack but who did not have 11B MOS. I guess he must relay on After Action Report. We had no combat action type badge and since I was not in an infantry outfit I could not get CIB even if I got shot at all day long. I know back in the day there were vets who claimed PTSD from being under mortar and rocket attacks. The VA fought this and the vet almost had to get wounded to get the PTSD claim unless he was in direct combat with the enemy. From what BCMR told me was that a soldier had to be in an infantry unit; have an infantry MOS and have proof that he was in combat eyeball to eyeball to get CIB.
